Amit Shah Blames Nehru for UNSC Seat; Congress Responds
Amit Shah, a top government official, said that a past leader's decisions stopped India from getting a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
He also suggested that the family of the past leader favored China.
This led to an argument with the opposition party, who said Shah was wrong and trying to distract from other problems.
They also mentioned that the past leader denied an offer for a seat in the past.
Amit Shah criticized Jawaharlal Nehru's foreign policy, blaming it for India not having a UNSC permanent seat.
Shah accused the Gandhi family of a generational affection towards China.
Shah referenced the 2017 Doklam standoff, criticizing Rahul Gandhi's meeting with the Chinese ambassador during the event.
The Congress party responded by calling Shah's remarks misleading and a diversion from domestic issues.
Congress stated that Nehru denied an offer for UNSC membership in 1955.
